For the past several months there have been a ton of rumors about Nintendo’s next generation console. People speculated when it would be announced, the capabilities of the machine, how it would work, and even the name. For the most part all of the speculation was completely true. All of the speculators were right about Nintendo announcing the system at E3. They got a lot of the specs and how it would right about the machine. However they were completely wrong about the name.
Some websites were thinking that the big N would just go with the name Nintendo for their next console. However the people at Nintendo have chosen to go the name Wii U for their next console. This is a similar strategy that Sony and Microsoft have done in the past, but in my opinion that is one of the worst possible names for a console. Wii U really doesn’t tell you anything about it. I was hoping for something like Wii HD or even Wii 2.
I am hoping that is a success for Nintendo. At this point it has hard to say whether or not the system will succeed, as there have been mixed reactions to it. Surprisingly Nintendo’s stock when down shortly after the Wii U was announced.
